This is a repost of one of my first mosaic’s. These are photos of La Jolla, California!!!
It is my favorite place to be on the planet!!! We lived there for 20 years and miss it every
day!!! I love Texas but as you can see from the photos it is hard to leave such a beautiful
spot. Thanks to Mary at a Little Red House for hosting Mosaic Monday!!! Be sure and stop
by and visit the other girls participating in this event!!!
I thought I would also share in Metamorphosis Monday!!! This is a very little
metamorphosis. We have lived in our house 10 years and as you all know we get tired of
things. This is my entry hall fixture… nothing really wrong with it… I just wanted
something new!!!

I love the new fixture!!! I love the openness, gold leafed wood accents and the little
crystals. Notice the darling chain cover. It is red and gold check silk. I love
it!!! This is my first Met Monday. Thanks for letting me share my tiny project!!!
Thanks to Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH for hosting Met Monday!!! Be sure
and visit her lovely blog and check out the other participants in this event!!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!!!
Lots of Love!!!

Hi Cathy!
We've never been to La Jolla but it has always sounded like on fabulous place. Love your pictures.
Your new light fixture looks great. Love the little crystals and the open look. Isn't it amazing what a difference the chain cover makes too?
Have a great day.

Wow, the new light fixture is gorgeous!!
That is really pretty, the cord/chain cover makes all the difference!
Absolutely awesome ... good choice. TTFN ~Marydon
Oh Cathy, I love La Jolla! I've only been there once, but it is SO beautiful! And your new light fixture is so lovely. Thanks for joining the fun at Mosaic Monday. :)
~WOW~! Cathy your entry hall is my dream. Can we see more pics of your gorgeous home? I love the stunning light fixture! Great MM! :)
Cathy
Love the new fixture...great mosiac photos...
Cathy - thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such kind comments. I love, love, love that fixture, and the chain cover is the bestest.
Did you also paint or was that just the effects of the camera? I was also admiring that beautimous woodwork over the doorway. That is some breathtaking craftsmanship. I also liked your plate arrrangement I saw in the other room. (your DR?)
Very, very pretty! Have a great day, Barb
It sounds like a beautiful place to call home.
Your mosaic is so inviting.

Happy MM!
Cathy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment. I love your scripture on the sidebar. It's a lot like my mom's favorite scripture, John 14:27. I have to say these verses a lot while try to keep up with my four boys! I love your new chandelier! It looks wonderful. Little changes like that can make a BIG difference. I'm sure you enjoy it each time you walk through the door.
Many blessings to you,
Traci
Beautiful mosaic Cathy and gorgeous new light fixture in your entry!
Very nice..........such taste in fixtures!
Thanks for commenting on my cabinet makeover. I love your new fixture..sometimes it's just little changes that make us happy!!!
Hi! I'm a new follower and I must say I'm enjoying all your beautiful pics! Your light fixture looks great...Looks like your entry is huge...I like all the architectural detail in it :) Have a happy day!

Everything looks just lovely....as usual!
I can see why you miss it! Very nice light fixture, too.
La Jolla really is an amazing spot on the coast of California. My roommate in college lived there and it was fun to visit. I need to travel further south one of these days :0)
Would love to be gathering shells on the beach or just digging my toes into the moist sand. I also like the change with the entry light. Makes me think I need something new :-/
Mellow Monday,
Candy

Hello Cathy, Thank you for visiting today! I have not been to La Jolla, it really is gorgeous!
Your light fixture is so pretty with the little detailing of the silk chain cover....you must love details as I do! I agree with Barb...your house looks to be absolutely beautiful. Luanne

Hi Kathy....thanks for comenting on my blog. I love Mackenzie-Childs...I am the resident artist and paint furniture for others...I am not into the painted furniture for myself, but I do collect the pottery, glassware and enamelware!
Just wanted to stop by. I am a follower now.
Warm Hugs...Linda
Hi Cathy! Your mosaic is just beautiful! The water looks like almost an inky blue! Is it that way in person? And I love your chain cover! Seriously, how did you get it up there without taking the light down? Or did you have to get on a ladder and stitch it? Or is it velcro? I see that you have one in the dining room, too, so you must know the secret! You will have to do a post about that! Have a great week...Debbie
PS Love your plates in the dining room!
Wow, that looks like a beautiful place - I can see why you miss it!
Your new light fixture really adds some pizazz - I love it!
Cathy, your mosaic is wonderful! Your new light fixture looks great in your beautiful foyer. I wish you could attend the Mackenzie-Childs barn sale....OMG, it is fabulous!! Thanks for stopping by today.
Hi Cathy. I love your light fixture. I don't know if I would ever have thought to take the glass out! What a transformation! Wonderful!
I also wanted to thank you for not only visiting but following us over at "The Zoo". I love meeting new friends. I'm off to explore your blog.

Love your new fixture, so pretty! Beautiful! but I also liked your old fixture :) Excellent metamorphosis and mosaic!
Love your new fixture -- the first thought that comes to mind is that you don't have to clean the glass! I like the cord cover and the openess of the new fixture. Great change!
My favorite place on the planet is not too far from yours...Laguna Beach, California. I am visiting right now, and having a wonderful time!
I LOVE the light fixture! And I adore the peek into your dining room with those fabulous plates on the wall.
I love the new fixture too. It's really lovely. Thanks for dropping by to say hi!!

Beautiful new light. I really like the crystals and the chain cover looks fabulous. Never even been to California. Hubby was born in Pomona and lived there until 5. I so want to visit California! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cathy,
Your new chandelier is lovely and the chain wrap is the perfect finishing touch. I believe changes like this make a big impact and keep a home updated! Cathy
Neat mosaic and La Jolla is such a beautiful place.
What a beautiful update... I love the silk and crystals!
Hi Cathy! How lovely.....the mosaic and your new light fixture!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Barb
Very pretty, it looks great with the chandelier in the other room.
OH Girl I am loving this new chandy and the chain cover did you make it...Of course I also love the pics of Calif..its so great to live by the ocean..When I lived in the bay area I use to go to the beach all the time...Thanks for sharing this wonderful post Cathy...May you have a great day my friend...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Wow Cathy, What a gorgeous entry and that light fixture is absolutely perfect.
Your mosiac is very nice. I did one so far, still don't have the gift you all do. La Jolla, looks like a great place live and visit, no wonder you miss living there. I bet Texas has some great spots too :)
Thanks for sharing!
Crystal
Your pictures are gorgeous and I love your new light fixture! :)
A lovely mosaic--I've never been to LaJolla but your photos make me want to visit someday.
Ahhhh La Jolla, I'm there right now lol! If you ever come back for a visit we must get together! LOL. Great fixture!!! I love it too! Especially the crystals so chic!
All the best!

Miss Cathy-
Everything looks amazing and I really need a tutorial on mosaics. Do you use Picasa?
Laura
Cathy, that chandelier is gorgeous! It is absolutely amazing what a difference a light fixture can make in the feeling of a room. This just looks so much more welcoming than the other, and I love all of the pretty details on it. Your mosaic is so pretty. I've never been anywhere in California, but that mosaic looks like a place I'd love. laurie
Love your new light fixture - looks fabulous!
Blessings,
